The NSAC initially declined to say what would happen when McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) forced an early curtain on presser by hurling insults and plastic containers. But on Sept. 6, the commission’s legal rep at the attorney general’s office got serious, asking the commission to fine the fighters, make them pay for their hearing, and pass along any other punishments deemed “just and proper.”

A hearing date has not been set on the matter, an NSAC rep today told MMAjunkie.

Diaz, predictably, fires or one or more of his own profane statements, such as “(expletive) your whole team” and “(expletive) you,” and included, “in one or more instances,” “obscene gestures towards (sic) McGregor, to wit: extending his middle fingers toward McGregor.”

Both fighters brought “disrepute to unarmed combat” and are “guilty of foul or unsportsmanlike conduct” in connection with the fight, the complaint alleges.

It’s not the first time the NSAC has gotten involved in a press conference fracas. In September 2014, the commission fined Jon Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) and Daniel Cormier (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) 10 percent of their “show” purses – $50,000 of $500,000 and $9,000 of $90,000, respectively – for brawling in the lobby of Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena at a press conference for their ultimately rescheduled bout at UFC 182. Additionally, the NSAC ordered Cormier to do 20 hours of community service and gave 40 hours to Jones.

But in the case of McGregor and Diaz, the fines could hit a lot harder. McGregor took home a disclosed $3 million, meaning a 10 percent fine would cost him $300,000. Diaz, who took home $2 million, would lose $200,000.

On the bright side for Diaz, the NSAC is not taking action on another hit – one the Stockton, Calif., veteran took from a vape pen that contained cannabidiol oil, one of 113 active cannabinoids found in cannabis (marijuana), which is banned in-competition. The bad news is that UFC anti-doping partner USADA is still investigating the matter, per USADA spokesperson Ryan Madden.
